Our bamboo bikes performed very well. The only problems we had came from the bike components.

Tammy Villanueva with the twins Bixia and Quintin, dropped by on Sunday to cheer and give encouragement to the team in the final hours of the race. Hecky was looking forward to this event and we know that up there he’s proud that his dreams for the future of bamboo bikes are slowly being accomplished.
